Emigratlon From Europe.

London, April S-The revival of trade
ia the United States and Canada has led
to a substantial increase in the proper
tons of the emigration from Europe.
SO pronounced is it that nearly all the
Atlantic lines have issued notices to
their agents to atop booking for the
present. The special feature OF this
position is that numbers of
mechanics are going out. especially
brickiayers, plasterers and masons
from Scotland and Wales. in response
to. advices from the other side that good
openings are now presenting themselves
to craftsman of that kind. The general
prospect of emigration trade is equal as
brisk. The German lines are understood
to be folly booked and q considerable
accession to the number of Germans pass.
ing through the pool is expected.
Swedes also, and Norwegians are fully
to the fore. Altogether the emigration
trade OF the current season is more brisk
than at any time during the past seven
years but the prospects point to o long
period of activity.

Obituary.

Died, on Sunday morning, Feb.
goth, Miss Cora Spencer, at her
home two miles south OF Rush Hill.
She had been sick with complica-
ton of diseases for about six months,
and during the last week seemed to
suffer much, but at the last she fold
her hands and laid down peacefully
in death, while her spirit took its
fight to her Faith er in heaven. We
use the word died from custom, vet
we believe she lives ia higher life,
one that is free from the sorrows and
pains that belong to this. She was
quite young. just entering into wo-
menhood when death claimed
her, and it was hard for the loved
ones to give her up, yet seeing how
peaceful her body lay in death, we
thought it sweet to give back the
spirit to its Maker, where it would be
free from all pain. May the mother,
brothers and sisters of Cora learn to
say"Thy will be DONE" and while they
will miss her here, they will have an
other dear friend to meet them in
the better land. She was buried in
the family burying ground.

Senator Vest on Woman Suffrage.

What man can without aversion
turn from the blessed memory of that
dear old grandmother, or the gentle
words and caressing hand of that
bles sed mother gone to the unknown
world, to face in its stead the idea of
female Justice of the Peace or
Town Constable? For my part I
want when | 60 to my home when
1 turn from the arena where man
contends with man for what we call
the plize of this paltry world-I want
to 60 back, not to be received in the
masculine embrace of some female
ward politician, but to the earnest low
ing look and touch of true woman.
1 want to go back to the jurisdiction
of the wife, the mother, and instead
of lecture upon finance or the con-
struetion of the constitution, I want
those blessed, loving details of do
mestic life and domestic love.
What we want IN this country is to
avoid emotional suffrage, and what
we need is to put more logic in pub
lie affairs and less feeling. There
are spheres in which feeling should
be paramount. There are kingdoms
in which the heart should reign su-
preme That kingdom belongs to
women-the realm of sentiment, the
realm of love, the realm of the gen.
tier and the holier and the kindlier
attributes that makes the name of
wife, mother and sister next to that
! of God himself. ! would not, and !
say it deliberately, degrade woman
by giving her the right of suffrage.
I mean the word in its Specification,
because l believe that woman, as she
is to-day, the queen of home and Of
hearts, is above the political collusion
of this world, and should always be
kept above them.
